With deftness and wit, Nancy Spiller delivers needle-sharp insights into middle-class life and marriage, while portraying the dissolution of a family and the rise of longing for a culinary salvation.
JANET FITCH, White Oleander and Paint It Black.

Sharp and pungent, Nancy Spiller’s superb first novel takes us on a disastrous week leading to a promised dinner party that can make or break the narrator’s food writing career. Infused with bittersweet tales of a family minced by maternal madness and sprinkled with the aftermath of childhood loss, Entertaining Disasters reminds us that there are no recipes to satiate certain cravings.
